Recent Books

The following table shows the books I've recently read or acquired. At the moment the title link points to the amazon page for the book, but at some point I'll have it take you to a full description of the book.

The main purpose of this page is to exercise my MySQL database that I built from a Bookpedia export file. I really dig Bookpedia, but it's OS X only, and because it's closed source, I worry about all my book data being lost if I abandon OS X or if the developers abandon the program.
